Arrogant Bait
True arrogant bait
Someone I'd never date
He lured me to his game
My sanity…his claim
Passion hijacking my thoughts
Drafting erratic plots
No one I could tell
A selfish little spell
Risks so uncalculated
Common sense castrated
He plead for it not to end
I could no longer pretend
Cashing in lust for security
Stacking chips of maturity
Then I heard the news
True darkness he did choose
Cruel relief it did provide
For my secret also died
*For Lewis' "It's a beautiful affair" contest
